1t is stated that Mr. Thoebe, who wants Mr..

An interesting question now agitating
Germany is the decrease of blondes in that
country, which has always been know as
the home of yellow hair Out of every 100
women, only thirty-two are said to be
blondes, and the large per centage of mixed
types is said to be gradually merging into
pure brunettes. Likewise in England, out
of 726 women, 1859 were brunettes and 357
blondes, showing decrease in the latter
1t is also said that in England the per
centage of marriage is 7S among the bru-
nettes, and IS among the blondes. In the
United States the decrease in blondes re-
Gently has been far greater than in either
of these countries, but it is owing to the
fact that blondes are not as much in the
fashion as they were several years ago.

st Louis is interested in duplicate of
ex Senator Jones of Florida. His name is
Cooling, and he is police commissioner.
Like the ex-senator he is infatuated with a
woman. She is rich, widow, and very
beautiful. She refuses to see the police com
missioner, and once when he called, she had
him shown the door; and now he imagines
that he is the victim of diabolical conspir-
acy to thwart his matrimonial plans. Jones

Philadelphia is complaining because New
York and Chicago are each allowed 90 per
cent. of the gross receipts of their post
offices for clerk hire, while she is allowed
only II per cent The Philadelphia Office is
allowed smaller per cent. than either New
York, Chicago, Boston, St. Louis, Ciucin-
natl, San Francisco or Baltimore. The
gross receipts at the Philadelphia Office are
second only to those of New York, The
postmaster has for more than year been
urging the necessity for a more liberal
allowance for postal work in the city, but
has not obtained what he considers he ought
to have. As Philadelphia is second in pop
ulation in the country, her allowance for
postal work ought to be second in amount.

will fall to the skin and remain there.
For stains on the hands, nothing is
better than a. little salt, with enough
lemon juice to moisten it. rubbed on
the spots and then washed off in clear
water.
For weeds in pavement or gravel

thoroughly. being careful not to let
any of the brine get on the grass. or it
